    Just tried the Swet Vermouth and Soda, and OMG it was wonderful. Got it along with some Campari to try making a Negroni for myswlf and an Americano for the wife who does not drink Gin. Neither of us have the taste for the Campari, although after I adjusted the ratios decreasing the Campari I was able to make a Negroni that fit my pallet. However the wife was convinced that both the Sweet Vermouth and Campari were terrible. I tried to tell her it was probably the Campari that she didn't like but she would not believe me until I handed her the Sweet Vermouth and Soda and she took a sip and loved it. She din;t believe me whenI told her what it was. Thanks for the Tips, Tricks, and Recipes.

    Guilty of being in the Manhattan rut. Played with it a lot (adding a bit of dry vermouth or a couple kinds of bitters). Then I learned about the Black Manhattan (maybe on this channel) and I never looked back. Then I got all the makings for a proper Singapore Sling and ended up with a bottle of Cherry Heering. Stumbled on something called a "Cherry Old Fashioned" which is essentially a Manhattan with the Heering replacing the Vermouth. So... I definitely need some other uses for the Sweet Vermouth. Some of these sound amazing and I will try them. And as another commenter pointed out,, on the rocks with a twist is a great aperitif. Ubiquitous in South America--often sipped sitting outdoors under a Cinzano umbrella. Thanks for these among many great recipes on this channel.

    I usually get the mini bottle of Martini & Rossi when I buy my vermouth.
    But just the other day I was feeling adventurous and let the guy at the liquor store talk me into a 750ml bottle of Dolin Rouge.

    I'm definitely a manhattan man, but lately the Jean Harlow (1.5 oz light rum, 1.5 oz sweet vermouth, lemon twist, optional dash of orange bitters) has been on deck. Couldn't be easier, and it's one of those drinks that's so tasty you can't figure out how it went out of style.

    Great cocktails, will certainly try them. Another drink I like to make is a combination of a Negroni and Campari Tonic. 1 part Campari, 1 part sweet vermouth, 3 parts Tonic. A great low-alcohol summer drink. Or use 1:1:1 ratio like the Negroni, that also works really well, I think.

  • @cynon767
    @cynon767 2 роки тому +1

    To me, nothing beats the Bobby Burns when I want to switch up the sweet vermouth drinks... just different enough from a Manhattan to really keep it interesting. Very like the La Louisiane, the herbal liqueur adds complexity. Whether you use Benedictine or Drambuie, the extra smokiness from the scotch goes well with the herbal notes of the liqueur. I actually like a spritz of absinthe in the glass in this as well.
